Rome -- Telit Wireless Solutions, an international leader in the field
of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, is supporting KUANTIC as it
develops its Dynatik range of products. The French specialist in fleet
management solutions is using the GE863 module from Telit to help it do
this. With innovative Dynatik products, Telit and KUANTIC have markedly
simplified the overall process chain in M2M communication, thereby
highlighting their commitment to this highly promising market.
Dynatik is KUANTIC's response to the growing demands of the global
logistics and fleet management market. Dynatik telematics boxes are
cheap, easy to operate and most importantly easy to install. The SIM
card needed to operate M2M solutions is already integrated during the
production stage. Users therefore do not need to activate the SIM card,
but rather the entire box. To facilitate this, KUANTIC has developed a
special Extranet, via which the devices can be activated directly at
the network operator's. To do this, all the user needs is the device's
serial number.
KUANTIC is thereby considerably simplifying the overall processes
involved in M2M communication. "So far, for companies who use M2M
applications in large volumes in particular, this involved considerable
additional outlay. Our equipment puts this problem in the past," says
Jean Falchero, President of KUANTIC.
Flexible fleet management application
The innovative, low-cost products in the Dynatik range help logistics
companies to constantly keep an eye on their vehicles, containers or
freight goods. With Dynatik, it is possible to trace precisely whether
a vehicle was stationary or when it was moved. Construction companies,
for example, can thus check whether the equipment and plant they have
hired has also been used at the weekend for private use. Dynatik also
helps companies locate their vehicles or calculate the kilometres they
have travelled. Car hire firms, for example, receive a signal as soon
as the vehicle exceeds a pre-defined number of kilometres. Logistics
companies are also alerted by a similar type of signal if the number of
kilometres reaches the figure at which the next inspection is required.
All information is sent via GPRS to a fleet management platform whose
scope and functionality can be tailored flexibly to suit the user's
needs. The volume of data transferred is less than two MB per month,
which has a positive impact on operating costs. For smaller companies,
the monthly costs are around Euro 30 over a running time of 36 months,
for example.
KUANTIC relies on Telit
The GE863 module from Telit provides reliable GPRS transfer. Thanks to
its BGA concept (Ball Grid Array), it is extremely easy to integrate
compared to other modules on the market. Additional plugs and cables
are not required. Telit and KUANTIC have been collaborating since 2004.
So far, KUANTIC has used Telit's GM862 module. Thanks to the Telit
product range concept, the switchover to the new module did not involve
any additional development work for KUANTIC. That's because all of
Telit's products are easily scalable. Telit is always on hand to
provide a rapid response to technical queries from KUANTIC's
developers. What's more, Telit also markets its modules at very
attractive prices.
"The fleet management market is an extremely hard-fought market.
Attractive module prices and a clear migration outlay are therefore
crucial for our customers - and highlight our commitment to the global
M2M market," explains Dominikus Hierl, President Telit Wireless
Solutions.
